Ian James Corlett, the original English voice of Goku and corporate keynote speaker
The Voice Behind the Legend

Not a Motivational Speaker. Something Far More Memorable.

Ian James Corlett made history as the first English voice of Goku in Dragon Ball Z, bringing the world's greatest warrior to life for an entire generation of fans across North America.

But Ian isn't a voice actor who gives speeches. He's a storyteller, entrepreneur, and performer who has spent four decades studying what makes people move. Emotionally, professionally, and physically off their seats.

His keynote, BE LIKE GOKU, does something most corporate speakers can't: it uses a character your audience already loves to deliver leadership principles they'll actually remember. Because the best way to change how someone thinks is to sneak the lesson inside a story they care about.

Talk Themes

Four Keynotes. One Unforgettable Framework.

Every keynote is customized around your event goals. These are the four core themes Ian delivers, individually or woven together into a full-day experience.

01

Relentless Growth

Goku never stops training. Your team shouldn't either. Learn the mindset that turns good into extraordinary, and keeps it there.

Ian James Corlett - Relentless Growth
Push Beyond Every Ceiling.

Goku's defining quality isn't power, it's hunger. No matter how strong he becomes, he is always searching for the next level. In this keynote theme, Ian translates that obsession with growth into actionable frameworks your team can use Monday morning:

  • Turning complacency into fuel for sustained performance
  • Setting goals ambitious enough to actually move people
  • Building daily habits that compound into massive results
  • Embracing the discomfort that separates good from exceptional
02

Resilience Under Pressure

Knocked down more times than anyone can count. Always gets back up stronger. This theme builds the mental toughness your team needs when the stakes are real.

Ian James Corlett - Resilience Under Pressure
The Comeback Is Always Louder Than the Setback.

Every organization faces moments when the ground shifts. Market changes, team crises, impossible deadlines. Goku has faced all of it, in a different form. Ian draws from the Saiyan principle of Zenkai, getting stronger specifically because you were broken, and applies it to modern workplace pressure:

  • Reframing failure as data, not defeat
  • Leading with clarity when everything is uncertain
  • Mental toughness practices for high-stakes environments
  • How to bring a rattled team back to peak performance
03

The Power of Team

The most powerful warrior in the universe still needed his friends to save the world. This theme is about building teams that fight for each other.

Ian James Corlett - The Power of Team
No One Goes Super Saiyan Alone.

Goku's greatest victories were never solo. They were the result of trust earned over years, communication forged under pressure, and a shared belief that the fight was worth having. After three decades working with the best studios and performers in the industry, Ian knows exactly what separates functional teams from legendary ones:

  • Building the trust that turns colleagues into genuine allies
  • Identifying and deploying each person's unique strengths
  • Communication habits that eliminate the silos killing your culture
  • Creating shared wins that build momentum across the entire organization
04

Leading with Heart

Goku never led because of rank. He led because people believed in him. This theme is about the kind of leadership that actually earns loyalty.

Ian James Corlett - Leading with Heart
The Leaders People Follow Are the Ones Who Show Up.

Titles don't create leaders. Trust does. Goku commands the respect of an entire universe not through authority but through character, a relentless commitment to showing up, being honest, and caring about the people beside him. Ian unpacks what that looks like in a real organization, on real teams, under real pressure:

  • Leading with authenticity in a world full of managed personas
  • Inspiring loyalty through action, not announcements
  • Building a culture where people feel seen, valued, and challenged
  • Making the hard calls with integrity, and bringing your team with you
